    BUSINESSWORLD PUBLISHING CORPORATION BusinessWorld, the country’s leading business newspaper, represents three decades of professional economic journalism. This tradition of excellence began when Business Day, the forerunner of BusinessWorld, first came off the press on February 27, 1967. It was Southeast Asia’s first business daily. In its maiden issue, Business Day pledged competent and responsible reporting of the news. The paper expanded its operations in the years that followed to keep in step with the growing business community. At least twice in its history, the paper was able to withstand forces both within and outside the company. In 1991, BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation incorporated World Press, Inc., a wholly owned printing subsidiary. In 1994, it moved to its new home in Quezon City and embarked on its innovative library computerization program. The paper also introduced new sections on the same year to meet the market’s rapidly changing needs. In 1995, it launched its Online Edition on the World Wide Web to meet the market’s rapidly changing needs. And of course, there are the other BusinessWorld publications such as the monthly BusinessWorld Files, the annual BusinessWorld Top 1000 Corporations in the Philippines and the BusinessWorld Special Anniversary Reports.

    Hates their reporters
    The good things-There are a lot of skills and understandings that a reporter will learn about the media industry in general. -You get to learn about many industries in the economic sector. -If you have endless patience and manage to stay for a least a year, a lot of media opportunities await you.
    The challenges-The training is so unstructured and informal. Half of the time, you don't even know what you have to do. -The ins and outs of the a reporter's everyday task aren't explained at all. They will throw you out to the field without any knowledge of how they want you to do your work. -They don't explain and communicate the tasks for a reporter. -They make you pay for all travel expenses. -All your fellow reporters are miserable.

    Great experience for student interns!
    The good thingsBusinessWorld provides an excellent environment for learning. I got the opportunity to be a part of a very small team of the company's latest multimedia platform, SparkUp.ph. I get to immerse myself in all its departments (Editorial, Finance, HR, Circulation, & Marketing) and learned a lot. Socializing and interacting with everyone was never a problem. Also, they were so nice to be so cooperative with the series of interviews I did for my Strategic Marketing Management paper I produced when I was studying in university.
    The challengesWorkplace is so traditional–not a place that engages the minds and productivity of creative people.
